thank you.... brought a lot
I have. I moved here into a Patio Villa 4 years ago, which is very limited in storage space, and was OVERLY stocked as ziplocks of all sizes were what I used to pack my work lunches. They have been stored in my garage for 4 years, which faces due west and receives the hot sun starting around 1P daily. We also buy the giant rolls of clear wrap from Costco and one of those was stored in the garage for 2 years and it, too, was fine. Foil is no problem at all as we also buy that in the huge restaurant sized rolls from Costco and it is in a cabinet in our garage, so when we need it we just step into the garage and roll of what we need. So, you are safe to store!

I also store my Christmas decorations in the attic and they are just fine. We keep a stick diagonally across the attic steps to keep air circulation. I’ve gone up into the attic when it’s in the upper 90s outside and the attic is cool with lots of breeze.
